LATENIGHTJIGGY's "Nela" Is a Sultry Tune Made For the Dancefloor


The trend of producer turned artist has lent itself to a wave of genre-bending sounds of late, but none quite as unique as LATENIGHTJIGGY’s vibrant, Latin and Caribbean melange, most exemplified by his latest release "Nela." Jiggy’s deep influences are a result of both his birth and upbringing. American-born of Trinidadian ancestry, he grew up in a diverse neighborhood laden with Dominican culture, and from that creative wellspring birthed a lifelong love of music, if not always the desire to be an artist.

Beat focus at first, Jiggy started his musical journey by navigating the humble producer route, trying to hustle interest online. However, his passion and abilities extended well beyond creating his own beats. Wanting to capture the diverse appeal of his backdrop, Jiggy went about crafting a style “that everyone can pick from,” similar to Sean Paul, who exploded dancehall influences across Top 40 radio with his mishmash hooks and stylings.  

Fast forward to now, with "Nela" arriving as the featured single off the upcoming finale of his trilogy, Flavors 3, and the methodology is paying off in a fashion that seems poised for his own Top 40 success. On the forthcoming project, Jiggy says this last chapter is filled with his personal songwriting favorites, all done as an independent artist.

With Latin stylings a constant perfume on streaming and radio hits, "Nela" is the multilingual, succulent, and sultry song that pulls romance from the hot humidity of its creation and basks the listener in its sexy effects. Wanting to pioneer a new musical flavor and vibe, Jiggy lands that ambition perfectly, as this song template is arrestable to emulate if you want a proper late-night tune. How influential Jiggy and his upcoming work remains to be seen, but "Nela" is a statement to his peer group that he can both steer and stir the pot, and the dancefloor will be ever better for it.
